Problem: Bus Routes

Medium
30 min
Explore strategies to solve the bus routes problem by modeling it as a graph. Understand how to determine the least number of bus transfers needed to travel between stations. Practice implementing efficient algorithms to navigate routes and return results or indicate no valid route.

Statement

You are given an array, routes, representing bus routes where routes[i] is a bus route that the ithi^{th} bus repeats forever. Every route contains one or more stations. You have also been given the source station, src, and a destination station, dest. Return the minimum number of buses someone must take to travel from src to dest, or return -1 if there is no route.

Constraints:

  • 11 \le routes.length 50\le 50
  • 11 \le routes[i].length 100\le 100
  • 00 \le routes[i][j] <1000< 1000
  • 00 \le src, dest <1000< 1000
